1. A Scattering of Daisies: ARE DREAMS AND DETERMINATION ENOUGH TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE?
Will Rising had dragged himself from humble beginnings to his own small tailoring business in Gloucester – and on the way he’d fallen violently in love with Florence – who was refined, delicate, and wanting something better for her children.
March was the eldest girl – the least loved: plain, unattractive and, with the best will in the world, the household drudge. Yet, as strange, intelligent and unhappy as she was, March had inherited some of her mother’s dreams and she was determined to break out of the round of poverty and hard work, to find wealth, and love, and happiness.
Did she have it in her to achieve her desires? And what could the future possibly hold in store?
2. The Daffodils of Newent: IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE GREAT WAR, CAN THEY FIND HAPPINESS?
They were called the Daffodil Girls, spirited and bright, enduring, loving and dancing their way through the gay and desperate twenties.
April, who married the tortured and sexually suspect David Daker, convinced she could blot out his memories of the trenches.
May, pregnant by her handsome music-hall star husband, who refused to settle down and become a family man.
March, loved and betrayed by the man who had fathered her child, and who still wanted her, in spite of everything.
WHAT WILL THE FUTURE HOLD IN STORE FOR THEM?
3. Bluebell Windows: The Rising sisters – the Daffodil Girls – are older now. The anguish of growing up in the twenties has gone. All three are – apparently – happily married and there are children to swell the vibrant Rising family.
But the problems that had begun in youth still remained.
March, the eldest and the most difficult, loves but cannot trust her clever, manipulating husband. He deserted her once and she has never quite forgiven him.
May has her own worries – a son who seems more than usually promiscuous, and a husband who grows more attractive and handsome even as she approaches her fortieth birthday.
April has a husband she loves, and two small, gentle daughters. But she is the only one who knows that Davina is not her husband’s child.
As the country heads towards unsettling times, can they find the strength and unity they’ll need?
4. Rosemary For Remembrance: ON THE EVE OF WAR, WILL THE FAMILY PULL THROUGH?
As the war breaks out, the Rising family – on the surface so united, so serene – tries to hold down the secrets of the past.
March, the eldest, is separated from her son.
Albert has run from all of them on discovering the truth about his birth and now he tries to drown his bitterness and anger in fighting the Luftwaffe in the skies over Britain.
April’s shy and gentle daughter, Davina, can never understand why Albert has left her without explanation, without saying goodbye.
And Victor, the talented, ebullient soldier son of May, watches the two cousins – knowing their secret, loving them both, trusting that the strength of the family will pull them through.
